Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams that might be causing irritation.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. The outsole is designed for good grip, but extreme conditions might require specific footwear.

Mesh material appears dirty

Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
